The heights made my stomach lurch some and I couldn’t bring myself to look over the edge of the rock we stood upon. I was good with looking out into the distance, but looking down was far too real for where I stood. Taking a seat, I listened quietly while my friend played her guitar and sang beside me.

I could sense my Father’s smile as He watched from above. He knew how my heart was too full to say much. I wondered how long He had been planning this special gift for me?
